PROLOGUE
"If you hadn't been born, Mommy would still be alive!"
"I hope it's just you who died and not your mother!"
I could hear Margaux and Daddy’s voice over and over in my brain. I don't know why I suddenly hear their voices.
I can not breathe.
Help!
Please. Help me! I can't breathe!
I closed my eyes tightly as I struggled to catch my breath. I tried to hold onto my necklace hoping that it could save me but I wasn’t wearing any.
"Tiarra! What the hell is happening to you ?!"
I don't know. I just ... can't breathe.
Gradually my eyelids closed as an image appeared that I could only see in my dreams.
"Mommy."
"Tiarra, please! You need to breathe!"
I want to, but I can't.
I'm so tired that I want to just shut down and fade away.
I no longer knew what was going on around me but I still knew what was going on in my body.
I just felt someone hug me.
I could feel her trembling as she hugged me.
"Shaney c'mon! You need to breathe. Breathe for me, please."
I can hear the desperation in her voice.
I want to do what she says but my body won't cooperate.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for everything! I'll make it up to you, promise. Just hold on okay? I'm here. I won't leave you ever again."
That's the last thing that I have heard when everything turns black.

"Good morning, Daddy!"Margaux greeted Dad warmly who was now starting to have breakfast. She immediately kissed Daddy on the cheek and then sat down at the table."Good morning, son," Daddy greeted Margaux."Good morning," I greeted but I didn't get any response from the two people here at the dining table."Are you all your things ready, Magie? Today is your first day in college." I heard Dad ask my sister. I started eating my breakfast since I know I'll be invisible at this dining table."Yes, Dad. I'm really super excited. I just hope there are more handsome guys at university, especially in my block, so that my college days will be exciting and inspiring," Margaux said giggli

I took a deep breath when I got to the university. Even though it's not the school I dreamed of, it's better than Daddy deciding not to let me go to school.I just need to graduate in peace right? It is not important anymore if I don’t like my course and school as long as I’ll graduate without any problems that may cause my Dad to disown me.I took my schedule from the envelope I was holding to look where I was going first. Based on my online research, there will be an orientation for all the freshies so I need to know where they will be going to hold the event."Hi! Are you from CBA?"I moved my gaze to the direction where I heard the voice. I'm not sure if she was talking to me because I didn't see her coming, but it was safe to assume she was because she's standing next to me a

Just a few minutes after Tiarra left, Selya immediately went up to the study room to talk to the father of the twins. As time went on, she could no longer cope with his unequal treatment for the twins. She felt so sorry for Tiarra because she knew the hardship she was going through every day. She was afraid that Tiarra might not be able to handle everything and felt burnout from all the things that were happening to her. They can’t afford to lose her. She would not let that happen. She doesn’t want to see regret in Margaux and their father’s eyes before it's too late. When she arrived at the front door of the study room, she knocked thrice. "Come in," the twin's father replied when he heard a knock from the door. "Can we talk?"

Chasing Happiness CHAPTER 6
"OMG! Finally we got to spend time with each other after school." I ignored what Mace said as I fixed my stuff and prepared to go home. We both have no practice today and we both don’t know why. I mean, we should have a tight practice this week because Freshmen’s Night will be held three days from now. "You want to go to the mall? Just to kill time since it’s too early to go home." I just nodded to her and walked first out the room and she immediately followed me. I have to go home, but I still don't want to go home. It’s good that Mace suggested the idea of going to the mall. Since the day my father and I argued, I've been too lazy to go home. I feel suffocated every time I am at home. I feel like the house is too small for the three of us. Before, Dad’s eyes always look
Chasing Happiness CHAPTER 7
Margaux is still furious when she gets home after her unexpected meeting with her twin at the mall. She immediately went straight to her room to calm herself down.“Argh! That loser!” She shouted out of frustration and threw her bag onto the bed. She couldn’t still grasp the situation that she had been in earlier because it was the first time she got rejected and the feeling was foreign to her. This is the first time that someone chose Tiarra over her that’s why she’s feeling agitated. She felt this was her first defeat to Tiarra. Because unlike before, she could easily get everything Tiarra had and always had her way of turning the tables in her favor."What right do they have to reject me? Don't they know me?" She asked furiously even though she’s talking to know one. Her beautiful fa

"5, 6, 7, 8! Left, right, single, single, double and glide!"We practiced the steps that Ayna had previously taught us. Because the event will be tomorrow, today is the last day of our practice. Even though we shouldn't be practicing right now, Ayna came up with an idea to improve our performance."PERFECT! We’ll have a ten-minute water break then we'll start again from the top," Ayna said. Some of us sat down from where we were standing to regain strength for a moment, while others decided to go to the cafeteria to buy something to eat.I’m observing myself for a moment because of the tiredness that I am feeling. I’m becoming nervous that I might not be able to cope up with the practice today because of my condition. I’m afraid that I might collapse. I took a deep breath and then fanned myself. M
